What does a carpenter do?
A carpenter is a skilled tradesperson who constructs, installs, repairs, and finishes wooden structures and components in both residential and commercial buildings. Their work can range from framing walls and roofing on new builds to installing doors, windows, cabinetry, decking, and timber staircases. Carpenters often work closely with builders, architects, and other trades to ensure that projects are structurally sound and meet design specifications. Many carpenters also take on renovation work, such as modifying existing spaces, repairing damaged timberwork, or creating custom wood features. Depending on the project, a carpenter may use both hand tools and power tools, working with various types of timber, hardware, and finishes. Their role is essential to maintaining both the function and appearance of a structure, whether it’s a small repair or a large-scale construction job.
How much does carpentry work cost in Australia?
The cost of carpentry work in Australia can vary significantly depending on the scope of the project, materials used, location, and the experience of the carpenter. On average, hourly rates range from $50 to $120 per hour, with basic jobs like skirting boards or door installations falling on the lower end, and custom-built furniture, staircases, or structural framing coming in higher. For larger projects—such as decks, home extensions, or full-scale renovations—carpenters may quote a fixed price based on square metre rates or total project cost. It's important to note that prices can also vary by region, with metropolitan areas generally costing more than rural locations. When budgeting for carpentry work, always consider the cost of materials, finishes, and potential subcontractors like electricians or plumbers if the job overlaps with other trades.
What is the difference between a carpenter and a builder?
While both carpenters and builders work in the construction industry, their roles and qualifications are different. A carpenter specialises in working with timber, focusing on constructing, installing, and repairing structures like frames, stairs, windows, doors, and decorative woodwork. Their work is often hands-on and detail-oriented, dealing specifically with the wood elements of a build. A builder, on the other hand, is typically responsible for overseeing the entire construction project. This includes planning, budgeting, scheduling, hiring trades (including carpenters), and ensuring that the project complies with building codes and regulations. Builders usually hold a building licence and may have carpentry skills themselves, but their role is broader and more focused on project management. In many cases, carpenters work under the direction of builders, especially on larger residential or commercial projects.
